Hair Loss & Thinning

Loosing your hair can have a massive impact on your self esteem and confidence. Whether its because of a medical condition, medication, or a trauma, it can make you feel anxious and upset, and feeling that way may and can cause further hair loss. Shuna Hammocks from Sussex Trichology is a specialist in hair loss and hair thinning, she aims to help her patients improve their condition and reverse the effects of non permanent hairloss.

Eyebrow Loss

Eyebrow loss is a scarring condition called Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia mostly found in post-menopausal women. There are also similar symptoms faced by people with thyroid dysfunction where the outer third of the brow is lost and some in Alopecia Areata too.
The eyebrows really frame the face and seeing the damage in the mirror is a constant reminder that there is a problem.

Sussex Trichology and Amy Packer Permanent Make Up

Working together we can not only help each others businesses, but we can really make a difference to our clients lives. For some of Shuna’s patients their hair loss will be permanent, but there is a solution. By coming to me, I can create a new set of brows or eyeliner for a patient of Shuna’s who is suffering from a form of hair loss. Permanent make up takes away the hassel of constantly applying make up to the area and boosts someones confidence. Not only improving the way they look but improving their lives.

Micro Pigmentation, Cosmetic Tattoo & Permanent Makeup

2020-04-21T15:16:29+01:00August 26th, 2013|Categories: Permanent Makeup|Tags: , , |

Micro Pigmentation, Cosmetic Tattoo, Permanent Makeup Tattoo

Micro pigmentation, cosmetic tattoo and permanent makeup tattoo are just some of the names given to semi-permanent makeup.

Is Permanent Makeup Permanent?

Permanent makeup is considered permanent as it cannot be washed off. It does however fade, making it also semi-permanent; a touch up is usually required every 12-18 months to keep the colour looking fresh.

The lighter the pigment used the quicker it will fade, but you can help the life of your permanent makeup by following some simple after care steps.

  • Once healed use a sun screen. The higher the SPF the better. I use a factor 30 every day in my regular moisturiser; I just rub it into my eyebrows.
  • Avoid any exfoliates on the area. As the skin naturally sheds it fades the tattoo, by exfoliating the area you will shorten the life of your permanent makeup and you will need a top up sooner.
  • It is recommended if you plan to use chlorinated pools and Jacuzzi’s to apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the treated area once it has fully healed. When your permanent cosmetics are in contact with strong chemicals use a protector.
  • If you’re planning to have a facial peal or laser hair removal near the areas treated please let the person doing it know you have had permanent makeup.

Permanent Makeup Patch Test

The Importance Of Permanent Makeup Patch Tests

Why Have A Patch Test?

With any permanent makeup treatment there is one thing you MUST have before treatment commences. And it could avoid irrepairable damage being done to your face.

When To Have A Patch Test?

A patch test should be carried out at least 12 hours before any permanent makeup is applied. This is a simple step which takes just a few seconds to do but could save you a lot of hassle, heart ache and pain.

How A Patch Test Is Performed…

Using a lancet the skin is pierced twice,  the pigment is applied to the 1st area and topical anaesthetic is applied to the 2nd area. This feels like a tiny scratch and may sting for a split second, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Common Reactions To  A Patch Test…

Reactions include, rashes, major swelling (there will be a little swelling after a treatment but this is normal and should go down within a few days) inflammation, irritation, soreness and sometimes lumps under the skin.

Warning About Not Having A Patch Test…

Removing permanent make up is not an easy job. Laser can take a few sessions and there still maybe some pigment left behind also it’s not always safe to laser round your eyes.

It amazes me that there are still some technicians out there that are happy to perform a treatment without carrying out a patch test first. Not only is it so easy to do but the clients health should ALWAYS be put first.
